U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that so called Armenian genocide is not forgotten but it is very important that Turkey and Armenia are making joint efforts to solve the problem. Stressing that establishment of a joint historians committee is the right thing to do, Clinton said that Turkey and Armenia are executing joint work for establishment of the commission.
In an interview with Russian 1 channel, Clinton said, "I do not think the "genocide" is forgotton. But the important thing is that Turkey and Armenia are making joint efforts."
Reminding that she was present at the signing ceremony of Zurich protocols towards normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia, Clinton said, "One of these protocols provides for the establishment of a committee of historians to deal with historical issues. I believe it is the right approach when Turkey and Armenia focus on all these. The committee is currently on the process of establishment. It is not possible to change the past but we can make efforts for a better future".
